Lay's NEW Kettle Cooked Chips & A Giveaway

It's no secret that i LOVE chips! In fact, i'd take chips over chocolate anyday! (Did i just say that out loud?) Well, Lay's has done it again folks. They've gone all Kettle-cooked, with all-natural flavouring in our favourite Canadian flavours!

I had the opportunity to test-drive all four flavours a few weeks back: Ketchup, Jalapeno Cheddar, Dill Pickle and BBQ. The love affair first began with Jalapeno Cheddar. I began with this flavour because i deemed it *my least* favourite, and i'm the type that likes to eat my least-to-favourite thing on my plate (because i roll like that). But you know, the Jalapeno Cheddar was actually pretty darn good. Just enough hot, with the right amount of cheddar--and, it tasted real (not all fake powdery).

The next night, DaddyO and i watched a movie. Perfect opportunity to try out another bag of the Lay's Kettle Cooked. We went for the Dill Pickle this time, since we had already done the hot thing the day before (sheesh, admittance of two bags of chips in only two days). WOW and YUM! They didn't have the same tang and saliva inducer that you might encounter in a *regular* bag of Dill Pickle. The flavour was a lot more like eating a real dill pickle... and the added crunch of the kettle cookedness made me feel like i was, indeed, munching on pickles.

Night three (cuz i had to make these chippies disappear and not linger around my house for days!)- i pulled out the BBQ flavour. I really, really, LOVE Ketchup and just had to make it my last tested flavour. I have to say, i usually find BBQ not really living up to its name. I always think BBQ chips could be just a bit more bam! The new Lay's Kettle Cooked BBQ flavour had that Boom Boom WOW i was looking for. Super delicious!

And last, but certainly not the least-- the unique to Canada- Ketchup flavoured chips. ( Read THIS post, to share in my love for Ketchup Chips! ) For me, the Lay's Kettle Cooked Ketchup chip was AWESOME. DaddyO did agree, that these were the ultimate Ketchup chip. Kinda like, really great french fries with the skins on--salty and ketchupy! I won't lie- i've bought these a few times since testing... *whistling*

Okay, so now the fun part begins! Lay's has offered up a really fun giveaway and who am i to keep the chip bowl all to myself!
